Factors Influencing The Quality Of Life of Carers of People with Dementia: Insights from the iSupport for Dementia Intervention Effectiveness Study
Family support plays a crucial role in enhancing health-related quality of life and caregiving self-efficacy, while financial burden negatively impacts carers' well-being. iSupport for Dementia emphasises sharing caregiving responsibilities and exploring available support through self-reflection exercises and practical scenarios. It also includes region-specific resources during adaptation to help carers access affordable dementia care. Future psychoeducation interventions for carers should consider these factors to address their challenges effectively and provide comprehensive support to enhance their overall well-being.
